This is already up for review as there is no reason for it to depend on 
kdewebkit being in kdereview. In fact the dependency should be the other way 
around, sort of... Anyhow, I already posted it to kdereview:

Well I have no object to that now that I went ahead and made the cookiejar 
implementation internal until it can be moved to the proper location. The only 
question is by "move" do you mean "copy" to kdereview until its approval into 
kdelibs ? Otherwise, that would mean one has to compile stuff from both 
kdereview and playground to get webkitpart to work, no ? In other words how 
should the transition going to be handled ?
